When evaluating the impact of this vulnerability to your organization, take into account the nature of the data that is being protected and act according to your organization’s risk acceptance. While CVE- 2014-0160 does not allow unrestricted access to memory on the targeted host, a successful exploit does leak information from memory locations which have the potential to contain particularly sensitive information, e.g., cryptographic keys and passwords. Theft of this information could enable other attacks on the information system, the impact of which would depend on the sensitivity of the data and functions of that system.

  • Systematization of Vulnerability Discovery Knowledge: Review
    Systematization of Vulnerability Discovery Knowledge Review Protocol Nuthan Munaiah and Andrew Meneely Department of Software Engineering Rochester Institute of Technology Rochester, NY 14623 {nm6061,axmvse}@rit.edu February 12, 2019 1 Introduction As more aspects of our daily lives depend on technology, the software that supports this technology must be secure. We, as users, almost subconsciously assume the software we use to always be available to serve our requests while preserving the confidentiality and integrity of our information. Unfortunately, incidents involving catastrophic software vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed (in OpenSSL), Stagefright (in Android), and EternalBlue (in Windows) have made abundantly clear that software, like other engineered creations, is prone to mistakes. Over the years, Software Engineering, as a discipline, has recognized the potential for engineers to make mistakes and has incorporated processes to prevent such mistakes from becoming exploitable vulnerabilities. Developers leverage a plethora of processes, techniques, and tools such as threat modeling, static and dynamic analyses, unit/integration/fuzz/penetration testing, and code reviews to engineer secure software. These practices, while effective at identifying vulnerabilities in software, are limited in their ability to describe the engineering failures that may have led to the introduction of vulnerabilities. Fortunately, as researchers propose empirically-validated metrics to characterize historical vulnerabilities, the factors that may have led to the introduction of vulnerabilities emerge. Developers must be made aware of these factors to help them proactively consider security implications of the code that they contribute. In other words, we want developers to think like an attacker (i.e. inculcate an attacker mindset) to proactively discover vulnerabilities.

  • Combat Top Security Vulnerabilities: HPE Tippingpoint Intrusion
    Business white paper Combat top security vulnerabilities HPE TippingPoint intrusion prevention system Business white paper Page 2 The year 2014 marked a new pinnacle for hackers. Vulnerabilities were uncovered in some of the most widely deployed software in the world—some of it in systems actually intended to make you more secure. HPE TippingPoint next-generation intrusion prevention system (IPS) and next-generation firewall (NGFW) customers rely on us to keep their networks safe. And when it comes to cyber threats, every second matters. So how did HPE TippingPoint do? This brief highlights the top security vulnerabilities of 2014—the ones that sent corporate security executives scrambling to protect their businesses. And it describes how HPE TippingPoint responded to keep our customers safe. Heartbleed—HPE TippingPoint intrusion prevention system stops blood flow early Any vulnerability is concerning, but when a vulnerability is discovered in software designed to assure security, it leaves businesses exposed and vulnerable. That was the case with the Heartbleed vulnerability disclosed by the OpenSSL project on April 7, 2014. They found the vulnerability in versions of OpenSSL—the open-source cryptographic library widely used to encrypt Internet traffic. Heartbleed grew from a coding error that allowed remote attackers to read information from process memory by sending heartbeat packets that trigger a buffer over-read. As a demonstration of the vulnerability, the OpenSSL Project created a sample exploit that successfully stole private cryptography keys, user names and passwords, instant messages, emails, and business-critical documents and communications. We responded within hours to protect TippingPoint customers. On April 8, we released a custom filter package to defend against the vulnerability.

  • Extra Credit Homework CS 642: Information Security
    Extra Credit Homework CS 642: Information Security December 10, 2014 This homework assignment is for extra credit. It can only make your grade go up, and you can turn in as much as you finish and still get bonus points (assuming the finished portions are correct). You may not work with a partner. It is due Dec 18, 2014 by midnight local time. 1 ShellShock Shellshock, also known as Bashdoor, is a Unix Bash vulnerability that was made public in September 2014. The bug affected a large number of Internet services since it allowed attackers to remotely execute arbitrary commands in vulnerable versions of Bash. In this problem, you need to finish the following tasks: • (Description) You should read materials about the Shellshock bug and what the error was in the source code of BASH. Provide a brief description (at most a few paragraphs) explaining the vulnerability and describe how to fix the bug. • (Impact) Security experts said that exploits against ShellShock were used to generate Botnets and trigger DDoS attacks. Provide a brief description of how that might work, given your knowledge of the vulnerability. • (Tester) You should write a script that tests whether a BASH environment is vulnerable. Provide the script and explain the details of your code (in a separate text file). 2 Heartbleed The Heartbleed bug, an OpenSSL encryption flaw, was made public in April 2014. The bug had huge consequences, as the vulnerable software was used widely among website servers. Millions of servers were in danger of information leaks. Heartbleed allows hackers to remotely retrieve swathes of process memory from the openssl process.

The authentication of communicating parties [18, 19, 20]. protocol is composed of two layers: the TLS Record Protocol Originally, TLS was started as the Secure Sockets Layer for encapsulation of various higher-level protocols and the (SSL). Then it was adopted by the Internet Engineering TLS Handshake Protocol for connection security. Nowadays Task Force (IETF) and specified as TLS 1.0 [17]. Many TLS has become the secure standard of choice for Internet modern network protocols (e.g., HTTPS, SMTP, FTP, and mobile applications.
